If I Understood You, Would I Have This Look on My Face?: My Adventures in the Art and Science of Relating and Communicating by Alan Alda

4.0

Alan Alda is an accomplished actor, of course. But I didn't know he's generally fascinated with empathy, learning and communication. He takes a lively, unexpected and, of course, humorous route to tell us what he has discovered. Naturally, this means the whole book is a series of stories, about surprises, failures, insights and triumphs. It's a very fast read, but I feel enlightened now that I've finished it. And I really appreciate Alda's dedication to helping all of us, but especially scientists and educators, figure out how to communicate effectively.
